WPC is proud to support Helping Hands Food Pantry, a community outreach food pantry. Check out their Facebook page!  
Helping Hands survives solely on donations.  Besides monetary donations, Helping Hands will accept food items, coupons, and perishable items as well.  They will gladly accept any food donation you'd like to donate. Donations are accepted now at their Main Street location.  
They can always use cans of tuna and/or mac & cheese AND right now they are looking for canned fruit and vegetables! Add these to our shopping cart in the front hall during October.

7. Financial Information
The 2017 WPC annual apportionment responsibility is $5,735. Over the last few years, our church family has come forward and helped to mitigate this cost by contributing the amount attributable to their membership.
For 2017, we budgeted Apportionment income at $3,000. Through September, we have received $2,041 (68% of our budget) in member contributions.
Please prayerfully consider contributing your 2017 per capita apportionment of $31.

8. Another Fun Event:
DECEMBER 24 - Christmas Joy Offering : The congregation is invited to support the Assistance Program of the Board of Pensions, as well as education and leadership development at Presbyterian-related schools and colleges by giving to the Christmas Joy Offering. Have a question? Call

9. NOISY CAN OFFERING
The NOISY CAN OFFERING will go to David Howard & family, who are Wycliffe Bible translators. Today about 200 million people do not have the Bible in their own language. Wycliffe's vision is to see the Bible accessible to all people in the language they understand best. To make this vision a reality, Wycliffe also focuses on literacy development, community development and church partnerships. Just a reminder: All donations made by WPC will be doubled.

10. WPC’S MISSIONS TEAM Mission Team: Elders Deb Minturn & Mike Jensen
